See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 560M

2011

Why buy it

✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (3 GB vs Unknown).
✅HD Graphics P630 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce GTX 560M is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

❌2011 hardware with 3 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌400% higher power demand at 75W vs 15W.

HD Graphics P630

2016

Why buy it

✅Draws 15W instead of 75W, a 60W reduction.
✅More future proof: Generation 9.5 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 3 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2016 hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
